    Ahh! The 1980's eh?

    Well, where to start?

    Nobody has even mentioned Simple Minds yet!

    How about Level 42? They were awesome live! <ok>

    Also... little known band from Coventry called King were pretty cool too! <cheers>

    Level 42 - Mark King, the king of slap bass. One of these days I'm going to buy a bass guitar and learn how to lay down some funky 80s bass lines.
